🏡 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟯𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 👎
Rates have been pretty stable this month but ended last week near their highest levels. Most borrowers wouldn't see a change in rate, but may see a difference in the credit or points needed to get that rate.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
Rates could move higher this week as oil prices rise on increased tensions in the Middle East and markets worry the Fed may hike rates at its next meeting. Any increase may be small, but it's tough to see rates moving much lower from here.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Fed: Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech last week raised concerns that the Fed may hike rates as soon as the next Fed meeting in September to fight stubborn inflation. There is some concern the Fed may hike rates twice before the end of the year, despite upcoming midterm elections.
• Labor data: Several jobs reports come out this week, with Friday's BLS jobs report being the most important. The report will show how many jobs were created in August as well as the unemployment rate. Weak job numbers could help mortgage rates, while stronger numbers could increase the chances of a Fed rate hike in September.

Starting a new job while buying a home? Here’s what I want you to know. 👇

Please talk to me before you put in your notice. 😅

Changing jobs doesn’t automatically mean you can’t buy a home, but the timing matters.

If you’re starting a new job, I’m going to need to know:

👉 When is your last day at your current job?
👉 When does the new job officially start?
👉 What will your new pay be?
👉 Are there any conditions you still have to complete?
👉 When are we planning to close?

Depending on your loan type, we may also need an offer letter and additional documentation before we can use that new income to qualify.

This is one of those situations where I’d much rather you call me before making the change than tell me after everything is already in motion. 😂

Changing jobs? Moving money around? Making a big purchase?

When you’re buying a home, keep your loan officer in the loop. A quick conversation can save us both a headache later. 🙌

🏡 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟰, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 👎
Although mortgage rates crept slightly higher, the move was small and rates really aren't much different from where they've been the last few weeks.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
Rates aren't likely to make any big jumps this week, but could creep a little higher depending on oil prices and the outlook for long term bond yields. If yields rise, mortgage rates will creep higher with them. The most likely way we could see rates surprise us and move lower would be a breakthrough in the Middle East that helps drive oil prices down.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Middle East: There's no end in sight for the impasse with Iran, which means we're unlikely to see an increase in shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz that would help bring oil prices down. Elevated oil prices will continue to put upward pressure on mortgage rates.
• The Treasury: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is looking for ways to bring down longer-term bond yields, which could help keep mortgage rates from moving much higher or even help them improve slightly. However, it would take something significant to push bond yields much lower and bring mortgage rates down.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 👍
Mortgage rates started the week moving higher, but fell after both consumer and wholesale inflation data for July showed prices moderating across a range of goods and services, reducing the chances that the Fed will hike its policy rate in September.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
There's not much economic data that could move rates this week, which will leave markets to follow headlines instead. Although it is unlikely rates will move much lower from here, the good news is that they are also unlikely to make any big jumps this week. However, they could creep slightly higher.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Middle East: Oil prices remain elevated but continue to hold steady. If Brent crude remains below $90/barrel, that will help keep mortgage rates from moving significantly higher. However, if oil prices increase this week, expect mortgage rates to increase as well.
• The Fed: Markets recently were pricing in the likelihood of a Fed rate hike at the September meeting. Markets are now speculating that a rate hike isn't likely until the December meeting, which has taken some pressure off mortgage rates because they generally price in expected Fed action early.

Rent keeps going up… but what are you getting for that extra money? 📈🏠

Buying a home can help you get off the rent cycle.

Rent can increase – Your landlord may raise your rent when it is time to renew.
You can build equity – Each mortgage payment can help you build ownership in your home.
Your home may grow in value – If your home becomes worth more over time, that can help build wealth.
You get something that is yours – Instead of paying more rent year after year, you are putting money toward a home you own.

If your rent keeps going up, it may be worth finding out what buying could look like.

You might be closer than you think. 🏡💰

DM me and let's look at the numbers together.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 👍
Mortgage rates moved lower last week, despite a lack of progress reopening the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices remaining elevated. Many lenders improved rate sheets after Friday's big miss in the jobs data, with a net loss of jobs making it unlikely the Fed will hike rates at next month's meeting.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 👍
Rates this week will take their cue from inflation, while also being influenced by developments in the Middle East. It's possible rates may improve a bit, but don't expect any big moves. There is also the risk that if inflation comes in higher than expected, markets could react poorly and rates would likely creep higher.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• Inflation: Wednesday brings the CPI consumer inflation report, and Thursday brings the wholesale PPI inflation report. Both are expected to show inflation cooled slightly in July, which could help mortgage rates if that proves to be the case.
• The Middle East: If oil prices continue moving higher, mortgage rates will likely move higher as well. If a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is announced, oil prices would likely fall and mortgage rates would benefit.

Getting your offer accepted is exciting... but you're not at the finish line yet.

Sometimes you can accidentally create delays or even lose the deal...

Common mistakes include:
• Opening a new credit card
• Financing furniture or a car
• Changing jobs
• Moving large amounts of money between accounts
• Making big cash deposits
• Waiting too long to send requested documents

The good news? Almost all of these can be avoided with a quick conversation before you make a financial move. Save this post so you know what to avoid, message me if you have any questions, and send it to someone who's buying a home this year.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates were volatile last week, improving through the middle of the week before jumping on Friday to end slightly higher.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 👍
Rates are starting the week a little better, reflecting a drop in oil prices and speculation that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen soon. Labor data this week could play a role in daily mortgage pricing, with Friday's BLS jobs report expected to have the biggest effect. Rates could improve this week, but don't expect any big moves.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• Oil prices: Oil prices continue to be a major driver of mortgage bonds, which lenders use to determine mortgage rates, and can push rates higher or lower.
• Labor data: This week brings a different labor report each day, although many will play only a small role in mortgage rates. Friday's BLS jobs report is the one to watch and could have the biggest effect. If it shows the labor market weakened in July, mortgage rates could improve.
• The Fed: Mortgage rates continue to reflect the possibility of a Fed rate hike at September's meeting. If markets become more confident a hike won't be needed to fight inflation, mortgage rates could improve a bit.
